Machine learning-based differencing tool for hydrocarbon well logs

Abstract

Methods for machine learning-based differencing for hydrocarbon well logs are disclosed. A computer system generates an input layer of a machine learning module. The input layer includes a graphical representation of datasets obtained from one or more hydrocarbon wells. The computer system generates an encoding layer of the machine learning module from the graphical representation. The encoding layer includes a two-dimensional array based on the multiple datasets and a merged dataset of the one or more hydrocarbon wells. The computer system determines that a difference between a first hydrocarbon well log of the multiple datasets and a second hydrocarbon well log of the merged dataset warrants an action. The determining is performed using a convolutional layer. Responsive to determining that the difference warrants an action, the computer system performs the action on the first hydrocarbon well log and the second hydrocarbon well log to modify the merged dataset.
